OH MY GOD I HURT. I haven't really been all that active since I quit the gym back in september (money, plus a major bruised hip bone from racquetball,) I also quit playing softball at that time to.

So other than walking Anelise the mile each way to and from school, I wasn't getting much exercise.

I downloaded a podcast that had a guy who told you when to jog and when to walk which really helped. And I think overall I did good for my first night, I jogged all of the intervals minus about 5 seconds of one of the middle ones. At one point my hamstrings really started hurting and felt like my feet were gonna fall off, so I now know an area I need to stretch out better next time.

In my mind this all is pretty sad considering 12 years ago in the army I was running an 11:40 minute two mile. But that is also why I need this program... if I was doing it by myself I would want to go out there and just start pushing myself along too fast and either get frustrated because I am not where I used to be or just simply hurt myself.

Good for you, man. I'm not doing the exact program, but I've been using as motivation the idea that I'm going to do a 5k this summer. I don't know if I really will, but it's something to work toward. After a month of treadmill work and weight training, I feel good.
